KNOW YOUR HISPANIC CHEESES? CONOZCA SUS QUESOS HISPANOS
In the past if a recipe called for Queso Fresco, you would often use Monterey Jack as a substitute. However, now we want the dishes we make as authentic as possible. That includes using traditional cheeses. Those of you who did not grow up with these cheeses. I want to explain how to use them and what to use them in. They may be bland or excessively salty, however, they are meant to counterbalance spicy foods and sauces rather than adding another flavor. Here is a small list of some of the most popular cheeses. Hope this helps you all when trying to make a decision as to what cheese to use.

- Below Firm Dry Cheeses: Asadero, Also called queso quesadilla becasue of it's usefulness in that dish. Usualy sold sliced, asadero melts well and can be used for nachos or burgers.
- Chihuahua, Melting cheese, similar to a mild cheddar or Monterey Jack; also known as queso menonita because it was introduced by the Mennonites. Use in queso fundido, cheese sauces or casseroles.
- Cotija, Salty, dry grating cheese, sometimes referred to Mexican Parmesan, Use as a topping for beans, Caesar salads and many other savory dishes. Softens but does not melt.

- Heat the milk to about 110F , if you do not have a candy thermometer you can test the milk by placing a small drop in your hand, the milk is ready when you can barely stand the heat of it. Please do not burn yourself. Be cautious.
- Once the milk is at the temperature needed add the rennet stir thoroughly for about 5 seconds and let the mixture rest for about 1 hour or less depending of the type of rennet used. The curds will start to form. It could form a solid mass that won’t stick to your fingers and will be separated from the whey. Used a knife to cut the curds in small pieces.
- Place the curds in a cheese cloth over a large bowl or container to catch the drips. Take the 4 corners of the cheese cloth and form a bag with it.
